| Summary: | Over the past decade, Robert T. Tally Jr. has been one of the most prominent scholars in the emerging field of spatial humanities. His contributions to this plethora of new spatially-oriented disciplines range from revising pre-existing concepts like geocriticism and literary cartography in his own writings to coordinating collective volumes on these topics and to editing studies penned by his fellow researchers. After translating Bertrand Westphal’s Geocriticism. Real and Fictional Spaces in 2011, Tally was invited to edit a book series at Palgrave Macmillan that would inquire into the relation between space, place, and literature. Since then, “Geocriticism and Spatial Literary Studies” has been exploring the ways in which space and place are represented in different types of narratives. |
